About Cannes
Cannes is one of the oldest and most prestigious film festivals. But since the early days of Cannes, people started selling films during the festival on the side. Hence a market sprung up at the same time as the festival, thereby creating the Cannes international sales market. When people talk about "taking a movie to Cannes" they usually mean the market, not the festival. the festival proper is a competition for art films.
This is the web site for the market:
http://www.cannesmarket.com/
Judging by the trailer, I doubt any of the filmmakers every intended to enter "Forget About It" in the film festival, but rather to sell it at the market. Not that it's a bad film, but it's obviously a commercial film.
