He may best be remembered for his very first film, the 1972 Cinemascope documentary feature film “Le Cousin Jules (Cousin Jules).” He went into special format films with Futuroscope (or Parc du Futuroscope,) the French theme park based on multimedia, as director, writer or consultant on 3-D movies and large format films. Benicheti, who passed away in 2011, was an incredibly technologically minded filmmaker who is best known as being on the forefront of artfully using 3-D in French cinema.
