However this year is different for Robichaud. This year she's competing for a Palme d'Or."Having a film in competition makes me feel like I'm here for the first time,” she told Back Stage.In 2010, she was in Cannes with her short film "Moi Non Plus," which was part of the Short Film Corner sidebar. The next year she was back with "Nature Morte," which was selected as part of Quebec showcase.But now she is in the big leagues with her short film "Chef de Meute" competing against nine other films in the official selection.
