With Oscar Sinela, Paola Baldión, Roberto Guillén

A cautionary tale about sex, technology, and public shaming set in a Nicaraguan town, Florence Jaugey’s The Naked Screen is a thought-provoking portrait of young people growing up in an increasingly complicated digital age.

Alex and Esperanza are college sweethearts, madly in love and unable to keep their hands off each other. When Alex meets scholarship student Octavio, the two form a quick friendship, with Octavio becoming increasingly obsessed with Alex’s wealthy lifestyle.

In the heat of passion, Alex and Esperanza record an intimate video, and their worst nightmare comes true when they learn Octavio has uploaded it to the internet. From that moment on, nothing will be the same for either one of them.

Press

“This cautionary tale from filmmaker Florence Jaugey (LA YUMA, 2010 AFI Latin American Film Festival) is a searing portrait of love in the digital age.” – AFI Silver Spring

“Questioning the role of technology in our private and public lives, The Naked Screen is a relevant portrait of modern day intimacy.” – SANTA BARBARA International FILM FESTIVAL

“Jaugey’s film could be viewed as an allegory to today’s online bullying. These individuals sit in their dark rooms, most of the time going unidentified, creating irreversible, devastating impacts to the real life people outside.” – Nelson Carvajal, RogerEbert.com

In 1989, together with her partner, Nicaraguan filmmaker Frank Pineda, she started an independent film company, directing and producing several short and documentary films. Since then, Jaugey’s filmmaking has focused on the poverty-stricken people of Nicaragua. Her short film Cinema Alcázar (1998), about the people who live in the ruins of an earthquake-destroyed movie house located in the center of Managua, won a Silver Bear at the Berlinale. Filmed in jail, The Island of the Lost Children (2001) won the Society of Authors Award at the International Documentary Festival Cinéma du Réel. The documentary Deceit (2012) portrays the lives of seven women who survived human trafficking.

Jaugey had her narrative feature film debut with La Yuma (2010). The film won 16 international awards and was selected as the Nicaraguan entry to the Academy Awards for Best Foreign Language Film. La Yuma was the first full-length feature film shot in 20 years in Nicaragua. In 2014, she directed a second feature film, The Naked Screen.
