Share out treatment for serious type of film? (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

arthouse

'serious type of film?' is the definition.
(high-brow genre of film)

'share out treatment' is the wordplay.
'treatment' is an anagram indicator (letters treated or processed differently).
'share'+'out'='shareout'
'shareout' anagrammed gives 'ARTHOUSE'.

'for' acts as a link.

(Another definition for arthouse that I've seen is " Cinematic venue".)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
