Workshop Black Hair and Make-Up

The awareness and knowledge about hair and make-up for colored skin is not yet sufficient on many film and television sets. To make the sector more inclusive and better meet the needs of cast and crew, FilmForward is developing a workshop ‘Black Hair and Make-Up’ in collaboration with Viola Sarkodee. This workshop is expected to take place in March 2023. More information will follow soon.

FilmForward would also like to draw the attention of producers and make-up and hair stylists to the training offered in England by ScreenSkills UK; “Textured Hair and Make up for Darker Skin Tones”. This 10-day introductory course covers both basic and complex techniques for textured hair and make-up. For more information, visit the Screen Skills UK website .

It is possible to apply for a contribution to the costs (up to 75%) from the Netherlands Film Fund for short-term training courses to increase your professional knowledge and skills in your own field. View the details on the website of the Filmfund.
