Benjamin studied film and law at Université de Montréal. Between 2002 and 2017, he directed and produced many feature-length documentaries. He has been actively involved in several arts organizations, including serving on the board of Productions Funambules Médias (2013–2019), which runs the outdoor film series Cinéma sous les étoiles. He later served as Director of The Documentary Network (2015–2019) and, in 2024, became President of the Regroupement des distributeurs indépendants de films du Québec (RDIFQ). For Benjamin, cinema is a collective art form: one that invites us into a theatre to experience the same images, side by side, for a few hours.
