Full Description
A series of gif excerpted from Fantasmagorie (1908), a French animated film directed by Emile Cohl and considered by film historians to be the first animated cartoon. The film was created by drawing each frame on paper and then shooting each frame onto negative film, which gave the picture a blackboard look.
The film, in all of its transformations, is a tribute to the by-then forgotten Incoherent artistic movement. The title is a reference to the “fantasmograph”, a mid-Nineteenth Century variant of the magic lantern that projected ghostly images that floated across the walls.
