José Bénazéraf is a French filmmaker and producer, born January 8 1922 in Casablanca, Morocco. After having finished his studies in political sciences, he started his career by producing Les lavandières du Portugal in 1958, a film of Pierre Gaspard-Huit. He started to direct erotic feature films in 1961 with L'éternité pour nous. Two of his early sixties films, Le Concerto de la peur and La Nuit la plus longue featured a Chet Baker score.

At the end of the 1970s, Bénazéraf moved his attention to the direct-to-video market.
