Cannes itself would be best avoided during the festival because of high prices for hotel rooms and the sheer number of people crowding the area.
Nice or Antibes would be a better choice, but you'll need to hurry and get reservations. Quite a few of the hotels near Cannes get booked up early on. If you'll have a car you could consider staying at an in-land village, such as Mougins or Valbonne.
If you have accommodations, it is very interesting to see the scene at Cannes during the festival. More than once in the past, I went from Nice to Cannes for the day to check things out.
