World premiere of 'Rust' in Poland: Minister of souvenir for Halyna Hutchins
At the world premiere of the Western film "Rust" in Poland On Wednesday there was no outstanding personality: Alec Baldwin. The actor who plays a controversial role due to a tragic incident at the set in New Mexico, in which Halyna Hutchins, the camera woman was fatally injured, plays a controversial role.
Kazimierz Suwała, director of the Energa Camerimage Festival, said that Baldwin's presence would have been “distracted” and that one wanted to concentrate on the memory of Hutchins instead. "We have not invited Alec Baldwin and never thought about doing this," said Suwała. Hutchins was injured in October 2021 by a shot that Baldwin allegedly accidentally submitted during a rehearsal. These tragic events not only shaken the film industry, but also have legal consequences for Baldwin.
The lack of important people
Interestingly, Halyna Hutchins' husband, Matthew Hutchins, was not present at the premiere. After the film was completed in memory of his late wife, Matthew Hutchins was consulted as a producer. The entire Hutchins family boycotted the event. Olga Solovey, Hutchins ’mother, commented with painful words:" Alec Baldwin worsens my pain by not apologizing and not taking responsibility for the death of my daughter. " These hurtful charges are symptomatic of the tensions that frame the premiere.Although Baldwin was not deeply involved, a minute's silence was held for the late camera. The director Joel Souza, who was also injured during the incident, said that it was initially difficult for him to complete the film after Hutchin's death. But he decided to realize the project for Hutchins and their family.
Despite the lack of Baldwin and other important actors, the premiere was important for the guests present. The organizers of the festival have emphasized that the decision to present the film was made in memory of Hutchins and that they wanted to honor the combination of the camera. "Halyna had a strong connection to this festival and said that the film was important for her," said Suwała.
The audience reacted mixed to the film. While some applauded, many cinema seekers left the cinema before the end of the credits. The film "Rust", who tells the story of a 13-year-old boy who accidentally kills a man, plays in a dramatic and emotionally charged backdrop.
Interestingly, some media reported the premiere that the public reaction was "polite" and that the audience saw a dedication to Hutchins after the film. Nevertheless, the question remains whether the film, given the tragic circumstances, can ever gain the backing of the audience that the makers hope. There is speculation about whether the film is shown in cinemas or ends up directly on streaming platforms.A film industry expert noted that the curiosity about the film could possibly attract many spectators, but at the same time a group of people who want to stay away from Hutchins could lead to "Rust" only a limited success. "People could decide not to watch the film because they have the terrible incident in mind, or they are interested in how the film was completed according to this tragedy," said the experts.
Rachel Mason, a friend of Hutchins, gave a passionate speech at the premiere and supported the completion of the film. She emphasized that everyone involved wanted to help with the completion of the family's film. "When they heard that the film could help Halyna's family, they thought of the child who lost his mother," said Mason.
Overall, the situation around "Rust" remains tense and shaped by pain and grief. While the memories of Halyna Hutchins are to be put in the foreground, the film industry faces the challenge of how to deal with the shadows that this tragic incident left.
