The "free" in this case is a verb. The objects are freed from the background.

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.
