- The fonds consists of 131 canisters of film reels, some with many reels per canister, as well as several dozen additional loose sound reels, adding up to a total of 411 reels, most of which were used in making the film "20 Ans Après". The 37 canisters of synched sound and audio material in Series A were all filmed within the Montreal Jewish community of the mid 1970s. They cover most of the same topics that appear in the film, but in a more discursive manner than the final production could allow. As a result, they more fully reveal the breadth of the discussions and the scope of the concerns of the Montreal Jewish community at that time. In this regard, they may be among the most informative sources of information available about Francophone Jews in 1970s Quebec. The material in Series B consists mainly of additional elements used in the making of the film, such as archival footage of Jews in Morocco, and background sound, as well as some sound reels that appear to be associated with other Bensimon productions.

- History / Biographical
- Approximately 1/3 of the Jacques Bensimon collection was found to consist of synchronized 16mm sound and image reels used in the making of the NFB/ONF film "20 Ans Après...", about the Moroccan Jewish community of Montreal. These materials are described as a separate series because they were judged to be the most useful for future research use,
- Notes
- Physical condition: The visual material is generally in poor condition, with a loss of colour tones and with interfering marks from interspersed leader tape segments and synchronization marks. The sound reels are in better condition, but are marred by synchronization beeps. The synchronization is not completely successful for most of this material.

- Scope and Content
- This series consists of 49 film canisters, a few containing multiple small reels, and several dozen additional small loose sound reels. The total duration of this material has not been estimated. The vast majority of this series consist of sound reels. Although a small proportion of these sound reels contain material of potential interest such as interviews with Moroccan Jews in Montreal, and speeches made at conferences, the specific speakers are for the most part unidentified, making them of limited research value. The remainder of the material in this series consists of sound materials gathered in the process of research, and sound elements used for the final mix of the film. Much of this sound material is comprised of sound loops of room tone and effects, background music, sound mixes, and extra copies of sound recordings. A number of sound reels appear to belong to unrelated Bensimon film projects. In addition to the original visual material shot for the film, the visual film stock in this collection includes archival footage of Morocco, and canisters labeled "stock shots." Although most of the material is in 16 mm format, a few of the film reels are 35 mm.
