Question
Can't you use the present perfect in the sentence "Richard has shown me a film about Wales"?
If I turn it in the passive voice using the personal construction:
I have been shown a film by Richard
Why shall I use the simple past in the passive voice if the active sentence is in the present perfect?
Thank you for the explanation.

Yes, you can use whatever tense you want. The present perfect reads well, whether active or passive.
