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.
