Olia Lialina, one of the original founders, was later a director. [1] It was dedicated to history and theory of cinema. It had no officials analogs in the Soviet Union at this time. CINE FANTOM was associated with the Soviet cinema underground, Parallel Cinema (Parallelnoe Kino).

The club was established in 1995 based at the Moscow Cinema Museum. Since 2004, it has been based at Fitil Cinema, Moscow.

The 35th International Film Festival Rotterdam hosted a large program "Days of the CINE FANTOM Club”. The 17th Kinotavr hosted the Club program as well. [2]
