Until your comment I didn't realise I'd also read it wrong (despite getting the gist of it). Attempted rephrase of the original sentence:
Imagine history documentaries where they take an old photo, free objects from the background, and then move them round to give the illusion of parallax.
The "free" in this case is a verb. The objects are freed from the background.

I'd suggest a different verb like "detach" or "unlink".

Even using commas, if you leave the ambiguous “free” I suggest you prefix “objects” with “the” or “any”.
Free objects in the background.
