Film
The Task
- 7PM
Confined to a nondescript room, 28 strangers—spread across race, age, gender, and class lines—engage in a radical social experiment designed by taboo-breaking artist Leigh Ledare in which they relentlessly analyze each and every interaction that passes between them, until even an act as small as changing one’s seat becomes charged with explosive tension. Provocative, at times uncomfortable, and always riveting, The Task is an unsettling mirror reflection of our societal fault lines.
