Do you mean Pathe "Baby" 9.5mm film?
9.5mm film can be recognised from the single sprocket hole punched
centrally between frames.
If so then a major digital telecine company in Los Angeles should be
able to accommodate you. Maybe. If not then I would look in Paris,
France or Mumbai, India (home of Bollywood) as they might have better
access to obscure French equipment. Expect to pay handsomely.
As an alternative you _might_ be able to find a Pathe Baby 9.5mm
projector on eBay and convert it yourself with a camcorder.
Hope this helps
