Oasis is a Canadian short documentary film, directed by Justine Martin and released in 2022.[1] The film centres on Raphaël and Rémi Cormier, twin brothers in their early teens who are spending a summer together before their lives undergo significant change, as Raphaël suffers from a disability that means he and his brother will be forced to attend different schools for the first time, and thus will not always be able to spend as much time together in the future as they have in the past.[2]

Martin knew the boys because she was once their babysitter.[1]

The film premiered at the 2022 Festival du nouveau cinéma.[3]
