ABOUT THE FILM: In English, French, and Spanish with English subtitles. PSYCHOMAGIC, A HEALING ART is an intimate exploration of the visionary director’s theory of trauma therapy using performance art as a vehicle to counter deep, debilitating psychic suffering with literal ‘acts of confrontation’ in real world applications. The documentary explores the director’s therapeutic work of Psychomagic using real life subjects in real world situations.
