Life and career


Bagriacik was born in 1990 in Ankara. Her parents, who were correspondents for the Turkish media, moved to Berlin in 1995, where she grew up speaking both German and Turkish. She was discovered, by chance, by a photographer in 2008, at a club in Kreuzberg in Berlin, who invited her to an audition.

Bagriacik subsequently played leading roles in numerous television series, such as Der Kriminalist, Notruf Hafenkante, Der Lehrer, Großstadtrevier and The Old Fox. Between 2008 and 2010, Bagriacik played the lead on stage in Ein Warngedicht at the Hebbel am Ufer theater in Berlin.
Bagriacik played her first major leading role in the feature film Hördur, released in Germany in October 2015. The German film rating authority Deutsche Film- und Medienbewertung (FBW) distinguished the film as "Especially worthwhile", the higher of two quality certification levels issued by the FBW. One of the reasons for the jury's decision was, among other things: "The casting of young Almila Bagriacik in the role of [the film's protagonist] Aylin can be described as a stroke of luck." The Verband der deutschen Filmkritik nominated Bagriacik for best actress in 2015 for her performance in Hördur.
In the ARD television series Detective Pasha, Bagriacik took on the leading role of the investigator Jale Cengiz in 2015. The two films, Kommissar Pascha (Detective

From the end of 2015 to 2017, Bagriacik played Filiz in the successful Turkish series Hayat Şarkisi (Song of Life) in a continuous role.
