It analyses how and to what extent these films open the space for a contested and political debate, thus facilitating the creation of dissensus and helping to include the migrant characters as full political subjects regardless of their socioeconomic status and their gender. The fiction films demonstrate that generic conventions contribute to the maintenance of stereotypes and to the mechanisms that exclude and screen out migrants. The two Spanish female filmmakers, Iciar Bollain and Chus Gutierrez, also present migrants within a narrative logic that does not allow for political change or dissensus.
