Alec Baldwin's 'Rust' Premieres, Honoring Late Cinematographer Halyna Hutchins

The film's debut at Camerimage Festival in Poland draws mixed reactions and a boycott from Hutchins' family.

  • The film 'Rust' premiered at the Camerimage Film Festival, marking the first public screening since the fatal on-set shooting of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins in 2021.
  • Director Joel Souza, who was injured in the incident, expressed initial reluctance to complete the film but was encouraged by Hutchins' husband to honor her work.
  • Hutchins' mother, Olga Solovey, boycotted the premiere, criticizing Alec Baldwin for not apologizing or taking responsibility for her daughter's death.
  • Baldwin's involuntary manslaughter charges were dismissed earlier this year due to prosecutorial misconduct, but civil lawsuits from Hutchins' family remain ongoing.
  • The film includes a tribute to Hutchins in its credits, with a dedication and a quote reflecting her artistic vision.
