KILLFACE
Documentary, 2024, Dir. Kate Trumbull-LaValle
KILLFACE (USA, 16 min) is a sensory, sound-centric meditation on female strength, stamina, and struggle through the visual metaphor of a female fighter. Filmed up close, with no narration, and very little dialogue, the film follows featherweight Muay Thai champion Natalie “Kill Face” Morgan’s ‘fight camp’ training. Privileging the sound of Morgan’s breath and keeping her centered in the frame, KILLFACE intentionally limits what we are able to see and hear, and invites audiences to experience an exhaustive and visceral exploration of female power.
