Libido is a 2013 Egyptian short film by Youssef Alimam about the premarital sex scene in Egypt. The comedic documentary sheds a playful light on the more serious issue of traditional norms that are slowly being broken down by Egyptian youth. Mazen, the main character, is a young Egyptian man trying to deal with his sexual desires. The use of cartoons along with actual actors makes the serious content more playful, and more relatable to youth groups in the Middle East. The film is available for viewing on YouTube.
The film was directed by Youssef Alimam and edited by Zakareya Amer. Salma Mahdi El-Kashef, Omar Abu-Doma, Ziad Tareq and Diaa Ghoneim were photography directors. The animation team consists of Nada Ali Saad, Ahmed Adel Abdelhameed, and Ahmed Emad.
