Dir. Maria Petschnig - 72min - 2021 - USA, Austria

In the spring of 2018, artist Maria Petschnig befriended Marc Thompson, who had been living in his car in Brooklyn for more than a year. Marc grew up in NYC, is a former convict, and his self-imposed homelessness has both psychological as well as economic reasons. Petschnig started to record his life and struggle, his thoughts and routines, over the course of a year. Uncomfortably Comfortable is an experimental video portrait that addresses the mounting NYC housing crisis, incarceration, trauma and racism, but also talks about friendship and life on the fringes of society.
