Swedish film directors Per Honewist and Susan Kardalian have started shooting a short documentary called “I hate dogs.” It tells the story of an Armenian named Karpis, who survived the Armenian Genocide in 1915. Frames of documentaries, shot in 1950-1960 in cities of France and Iran, will be used in the film. Karpis is 98 now, but he still clearly remembers how he was driven away from Ottoman Turkey to deserts of Syria – along with his father, brother and thousands of other Armenians. On the way his father and brother died from hunger and emaciation. “There are not many of us – those who have survived the genocide – left, however I am not going to take my story to the grave,” Karpis says. The cooperation between Per Honewist and Susan Kardalian started in 1988 with the film “Return to Ararat.”
