What is The Task about?
A film directed by Ledare during a three-day conference that he organized in Chicago that was structured according to the Tavistock method—a project that involved recruiting 30 participants, securing the collaboration of 10 psychologists trained in the method, and directing a film crew. Complex patterns of stereotyping and other projections of identity emerge through the participants’ discussions; authority is questioned, assumed, and taken away; and viewers are implicated as the participants become aware of subjective forces that exist beyond the imposed boundaries of the conference system. It blends documentary elements. The film reflects a distinct United States of America style and perspective. The story is brought to life by director Leigh Ledare. With a runtime of 1h 59m, it offers a comfortable feature-length experience.
