Abstract
Homosexuality has always been taboo in Arab culture, however, diverse Arabic countries have included this theme within their cinematic productions. Homosexuality may be projected within the plot or subplot, with the use of full nude scenes; a practice that liberal sectors of Arabic societies support, while the conservative religious wing attempt to control through censorships. Despite these attempts to curtail these themes, we can find numerous homosexual scenes involving both gay men and women in a number of Arabic films. The majority of these films are Egyptian, although we can also find filmmakers from Morocco and Libya, above all the genial Youssef Chahin.
