WARUM NICHT!
Zur Gesprächsreihe „Warum nicht!“ laden wir interessante Persönlichkeiten ins TOKONOMA Apartment ein, um etwas über ihren Lebenslauf, ausgefallene Konzepte, über Blauäugigkeit, Multitasking oder das Scheitern zu erfahren. Wir sprechen mit Menschen, die sich an einem Punkt in ihrem Leben gesagt haben: “Warum nicht!”. Die etwas Neues begonnen haben, vorhandene Strukturen hinterfragt und verändert haben, ihr ursprüngliches Metier gewechselt haben oder sich gar nicht erst auf eine Disziplin festnageln ließen.
Elif Demiroğlu (@razzlerazzi) is a Turkish-German director, writer, and producer based in Berlin. After a decade in architecture and urban design, she transitioned into filmmaking to explore class, migration, and gender through dark comedy and emotionally precise storytelling. In 2024, she co-founded Intikam Productions in Berlin with Müge Karaduman. Her debut short film Traces (2025) has been officially selected at festivals across Europe and the United States. Her second short, Cherry-Flavored Death (2026), a surreal psychological dark comedy, is currently on the festival circuit. She recently co-wrote and co-directed Sister Blister with Müge Karaduman, which is currently in post-production. Under Intikam Productions, she is currently developing the short films Heartbreak Delivery and Gummy Business, and the TV series Botox Etc. and The Goodbye Girls, the latter selected as one of six projects for Talentpitch at the Creators Conference during the Munich Film Festival.
WHY NOT!
For our "Why Not!" series of talks, we invite fascinating personalities to TOKONOMA to learn about their life stories, unconventional concepts, naivety, multitasking, or failure. We speak with people who, at some point in their lives, said to themselves: "Why not!" People who started something new, questioned and changed existing structures, switched their original field, or refused to be pigeonholed into a single discipline in the first place.
