The film depicting crazy images morphing fluidly from one to the next is a tribute to the Incoherent Art Movement of France which had been almost forgotten by that time.
This later gave birth to many of the techniques used in avant-garde art later on.
The film takes its name from the fantasmograph, a 19th century lantern which projects shadowy images on the wall. The French term ‘fantasmagorie’ is defined as “a constantly shifting complex succession of things seen or imagined.”
