Benzine has lived and worked in Canada since 2011.
In 2011, Benzine took a closer look at Claude Lanzmann and his film Shoah for the first time and did not find what he was looking for in a film portrait of Lanzmann, so he decided to make a documentary on Lanzmann and his film himself. The work on the 40-minute documentary Claude Lanzmann: Specters of the Shoah spanned around three years and covered Lanzmann's life from 1973 to 1985. It was created as an accompanying documentary for the 30th anniversary of Shoah in 2015. Benzine was chosen for the film in 2016 for one Oscar nominated for Best Documentary Short Film.
