Our story

About the Collection

Preserving seventy years of naturist film, photography, and culture for the generations to come.

Our Mission

We promote naturism as a wholesome, healing, and life-affirming way of living in harmony with nature. Our mission is to inspire body acceptance, environmental respect, mindfulness, and community for a healthier world.

Go to the Showis home to the world's largest collection of naturist documentaries, gathered from archives, estates, and filmmakers across the globe — from the pioneering films of the 1950s to contemporary work being made today.

Naturism has always been about health, community, and an honest relationship with nature. The films and photographs here document that tradition with warmth and respect: family resorts on the Baltic coast, alpine sun clubs, island communities in the Adriatic, and the quiet everyday life of people at ease in the world.

Every work is licensed specifically for naturist presentation and carefully selected and edited so the collection is safe for viewing and sharing on any platform. Membership directly funds the ongoing restoration of films that would otherwise be lost.

What you will not find here

No nudity, no sexual content, and nothing that would be unwelcome on a mainstream platform. Everything is rated G or PG and reviewed before it is published.

What we stand for

Four ideas shape every decision about what goes into the collection.

Body acceptance

A calm, ordinary relationship with the human body — no shame, no spectacle, no sexualisation.

Respect for nature

Naturism grew out of a love of open air, sunlight, and water. That care for the natural world runs through everything we publish.

Mindful living

Simplicity, health, and time spent outdoors, presented as a way of living rather than a novelty.

Community

Clubs, families, and friendships across seven decades and every continent, documented with warmth.
