A cinematic look at equestrian vaulting.
The balletic grace of half a dozen gymnasts on horseback is captured in Sharif Hamza’s elegant film We Vault. Written by Laura Albert, aka the writer behind the infamous JT LeRoy pseudonym, Hamza’s sun-dappled short pays homage to the refined skill of equestrian vaulting. Having documented daredevil motocross riders and a professional rowing team, today’s film again showcases the director’s ability to capture the transcendent beauty and elegance of any sport. In true Hamza style, a strong fashion narrative is present, with custom body suits featuring alongside pieces by Thomas Tait and Anthony Vaccarello.
