FM Youth

Directed by Stéphane Oystryk

Synopsis: Saint-Boniface, the French Quarter of Winnipeg, where everyone knows each other, the rumour mills work overtime, young people can't figure out where they belong and French mixes with English. Natasha and Charlotte have big dreams. They've already decided. Tomorrow, they're leaving their little Western Canadian francophone community for the great metropolis of Montreal. It's a tough pill to swallow for their best friend Alexis. Tonight, the trio parties one last time in their neighbourhood. FM Youth is a look at being young and French in Western Canada. FM Youth was nominated for a Rendez-vous du cinéma québécois award (Best French-Canadian Film (outside of Québec) – 2015), a Windy Award (Stéphane Oystryk – Director: First Feature Length Film – 2016), a Western Canadian Music Award (Graham Epp – Visual Media Composer of the Year – 2016) and a Manitoba Book Award (Rue-Deschambault Literary Prize for best francophone fiction – 2016) for the published version of the script from Les Éditions du Blé.
