    The Treatment By Lovewarz (Siobhan Aluvalot + Sara Thustra) 60 min. video 2010
    Two years in the making, The Treatment is the third movie by Lovewarz. Taken into a world of live performance art filmed across the country, the piece is a narrative of historical examples of artists fighting for access to new language.
