It would seem sponsorship plays a large part.
"Official Partners
Find out about the official and institutional partners that finance the Festival de Cannes."

http://www.festival-cannes.fr/en/about.html

"A NOTE ON FUNDING
The Festival's budget amounts to approximately 20 million euros, half of which originates from public funding via the National Cinema Centre (CNC) under the authority of the Ministry of Culture, the City of Cannes and other local authorities. This financing is completed by contributions from a number of professional and institutional groups along with the Festival's Official partners."
