After Halyna Hutchins tragically died on set three years ago, Rust will finally have the world’s premiere.
Alec Baldwin’s film Rust is preparing for its world premiere three years after the terrible murder of cinematographer Halyna Hutchins on set.
It has been confirmed by People that the film will make its world premiere at Poland’s Camerimage International Film Festival in late November. The festival honors the contributions of directors of photography and cinematographers.
In a press release that the outlet was able to get, the festival said, “Camerimage is set to honor her memory and remind the world of her legacy, almost three years after the tragic death of Halyna Hutchins, a Ukrainian cinematographer who was part of the festival family.”

The screening will honor Hutchins’ “beautiful” work, according to director of photography Bianca Cline, who took over the project following Hutchins.
“We wanted to do this to honour her and to make sure that people could see what she was working on,” Cline explains. “I think that it’s her best film. I think that it’s her most beautiful film, and I’ve seen all of them.”
“And I think that one of the things about the film is that nobody knows anything about Halyna,” she said. “Everyone just knows about her death, and that’s sad because she’s such a beautiful person and a talented cinematographer.”
In October 2021, during production, Baldwin’s prop gun inadvertently went off, killing the late cinematographer.
