By Mark Storey
Naturist Education Foundation, July 2003
288 pages
Cinema Au Naturel brings to life many long-forgotten films such as Elysia: Valley of the Nude, The Monster at Camp Sunshine, and Take Off Your Clothes and Live. In his account of the history of nudist film, Mark Storey introduces readers to the best and the worst of these cinematic portrayals of clothes-free life. From the 1930s through today, filmmakers have exploited, documented, and argued for nudism. Cinema Au Naturel is the first book devoted to these tantalizing films, and shows them worthy of both lighthearted and serious consideration.
