BBC Audio | Screenshot | Nudity 26/04/2026

The latest episode of BBC Radio 4’s Screenshot explores the long and often controversial history of nudity in film and television. Mark Kermode and Ellen E Jones speak with filmmakers and critics about how nakedness on screen has shifted from shock and titillation to a tool for honesty, vulnerability and storytelling.

Film critic Pamela Hutchinson discusses landmark moments in cinema and how changing cultural attitudes have shaped what audiences see. Writer director Bridgett M. Davis reflects on her 1996 film Naked Acts, which examined the pressures and expectations placed on women — especially Black women — when it comes to on screen nudity. Director Tim Mielants talks about his film Patrick, set in a nudist camp, where nudity is treated as ordinary and unremarkable.

This was first broadcast on Friday evening - https://www.bbc.com/audio/play/m002vc5h

Overall, the episode presents nudity much like social nudity advocates describe it: a state of authenticity, equality and lack of pretence, where people are simply themselves without the signals clothing can send.
