Fuerteventura film make-up course trains 23 students as two free workshops approach
A professional make-up course has finished in Fuerteventura, with free photography and wig-making workshops scheduled before the end of the year.
Twenty-three students have completed a professional make-up course for audiovisual productions organised by the Fuerteventura Film Commission. Two more free workshops, covering photography and wig-making, are scheduled in the coming weeks.
The make-up course, which ended on 13 November, was taught by Francis Bodí, a specialist in characterisation techniques and professional make-up. It combined theory with practical exercises recreating the work of a make-up department on a film set.
Fuerteventura Film Commission councillor Nereida Calero said make-up was in demand on film shoots and could be provided by island professionals with the right training. The aim, she said, was for productions arriving in Fuerteventura to find local teams prepared to cover all roles.
Two more free workshops
The next course, taught by Cecilia Bayona, will cover photography from 16 to 20 November. Paco Rodríguez will lead a wig-making workshop from 30 November to 4 December. Both are free.
The make-up course was the third workshop in a training block running between October and December. It was also the sixth workshop held by the commission in 2026, following sessions on set design, documentary scriptwriting, sound post-production, sound for audiovisual projects and film lighting.
The commission expects more than 100 people to have received training through the free sessions by the time the remaining two workshops are complete.
