Sumario:This article aims to investigate the presence of the Latin-American immigrant woman in the Spanish cinema, based on an extensive corpus of films within the period 1999-2012. Thus, it has been applied methodological tools of Content Analysis and the theoretical discussion is grounded on Cultural Studies, Audiovisual Narrative and Gender Studies. The results indicate that the presence of those women is effective, even as main characters, but constituted by hegemonic bases regarding nationality, ethnicity and age range. Furthermore, it has been verified that there is a predominance of drama as a cinematographic genre, centered on quotidian plot and marginality.
