	Why Ella? :: Ella Studio
		Ella was named in honour of a great writer, Ella Maillart and one of the greatest female jazz singers the world has ever known: Ella Fitzgerald.
		Ella Maillart was one of the most amazing female travellers in the world.
		In the course of her career she won every form of musical recognition of her day and recorded more than 120 albums, excluding compilations; and despite her musical stature we could have heard her soulful voice modestly pouring forth on stage at age 70 just as we could have when she was 16.

		Ella considers it a means, not an end: “After all, the earth is there, the earth belongs to me, I want to see it, I want to travel over deserts and mountains.
		Maillart possesses the enchanted eye of the born traveller and the machine is the mechanical extension of an aesthetic and moral sensitivity that is part of her being.
		Ella is physical, Annemarie is diaphanous, Ella is healthy, Annemarie is sick, Ella is calm, Annemarie is troubled, Ella is primordial, Annemarie is artificial.

	Forbidden Journey, Ella Maillart
		In 1935 Ella Maillart contemplated one of the most arduous journeys in the world: the "impossible journey" from Peking, then a part of Japanese-occupied China, through the distant province of Sinkiang (present day Tukestan), to Kashmir.
		Enlisting with newswriter Peter Fleming (with the caveat that his company remain tolerable), Maillart undertook a journey considered almost beyond imagination for any European and doubly so for a woman.
		Maillart describes it all with the sharp eye and unvarnished prose of a veteran reporter--the missionaries and rogues, parents binding daughters' feet with rags, the impatient Fleming lighting fires under stubborn camels.

		Annemarie Schwarzenbach and Ella Maillart were probably the first women to take the northern route to Afghanistan, travelling in a Ford via the city of Herat.
		Maillart's diary describes in detail Schwarzenbach's shaky physical and psychological state while in Adfghanistan, but also their turbulent relationship.
		A startling aspect of some of the photographs taken in 1939 is that they are remarkably similar to those we see in the press today: a woman covered head to toe in a burqa, a finely woven net at the eyes; bearded men in turbans, stern mountain ranges as a backdrop.

		Ella Maillart was the adventurous Swiss woman who made her name as an intrepid explorer and one of the most remarkable woman travelers of the early 20th century.
		Yet these outdoor activities only developed Maillart’s insatiable curiosity to travel east, leaving behind the confines of her early life in Geneva in search of the perfect life that she was instinctively seeking.
		Maillart sailed the Mediterranean in a yawl, travelled with famous travel English travel writer Peter Fleming from Peking to Kashmir, explored Tibet with a half-wild tiger-cat in search of spiritual enlightenment, and finally drove 4,000 miles from war-torn Europe to the fabled Khyber Pass in a battered Ford car.

		Her images show profound respect for her subjects and convey a sense of give-and-take with people who are unused to the presence of the camera, as their facial expressions often betray.
		Maillart’s younger years were marked by athletic exploits — especially sailing, skiing, and field hockey — and daring travels in which her eye was attuned to seeking out differences.

		When ethnologist Ella Maillart and writer Annemarie Schwarzenbach leave their native Switzerland for the "Hindu Kush" (that is, Afghanistan), viewers of this docudrama know something the travelers don't: It's 1939, so the women's expedition is unlikely to be completed before war begins in Europe, disrupting research projects around the globe.
		Moody Annemarie (Jeanette Hain), who has a taste for morphine and prefers men's clothing, and more pragmatic Ella (Nina Petri) make their way through the vast, mostly empty landscapes of Turkey and Persia before learning that Germany has invaded Poland.
		Based on Maillart's memoir The Cruel Way: Two Women and a Ford in Afghanistan, the film is scenic but chilly.

		At a time when Europe is preparing for World War II, Annemarie is trying to run away from her addiction to morphine and Ella searches for a tribe of nomads living in the legendary Kafiristan Valley, in hopes that their story will enhance her body of published scholarly works.
