<p>Alec Baldwin’s movie<em> Rust</em> will finally get a world premiere in November at the Camerimage Festival in Poland, which honors the work of cinematographers and directors of photography.</p>
<p>“Nearly three years after the tragic death of Halyna Hutchins, a Ukrainian cinematographer who was part of the festival family, Camerimage will honor her memory and remind the world of her legacy,” the festival announced in a press release.</p>
<p>According to director of photography Bianca Cline, who took over for the late Halyna Hutchins after she was accidentally shot on the set of the film, the screening will be a tribute to Hutchins’ “beautiful” work.</p>
<p>“We wanted to do this to honor her and make sure people could see what she was working on,” Cline says. “I think it’s her best film. I think it’s her most beautiful film, and I’ve seen them all.”</p>
<p>She also thinks Camerimage is the perfect place for the film’s premiere.</p>

<p>“The cool thing about the festival is that it is the most well-known film festival focused solely on cinematography,” says Cline. “And I think one of the things about the movie is that no one knows anything about Halyna. Everyone just knows about her death, and that’s sad because she’s such a beautiful person and a talented cinematographer.”</p>
<p>Cline added, “I’m in awe of how many people admired her and how talented she is. I think cinematographers are sometimes downgraded to technicians, but I think Halyna has elevated it to an art.”</p>
<p>Cline tells PEOPLE that Hutchins’ mother, Olga Solovey, and sister, Svetlana Zemko, are looking forward to the release of the finished film.</p>
<p>“They are very excited,” she said of Hutchins’ relatives, who live in Kiev. “Halyna’s mother was probably the biggest champion of the movie. She wanted it done because she knew how much it meant to Halyna. She told me how excited Halyna was to see the movie.”</p>

<p>Following the film’s premiere, there will be a panel discussion with director Joel Souza, Cline and Stephen Lighthill, Halyna’s mentor from her film school AFI.</p>
<p>According to the press release, the trio will discuss “the unique visual style Halyna developed on set and explain how Bianca Cline, who took over her work, managed to replicate Halyna’s style in a remarkable way.”</p>
<p>The press release adds that the discussion will also touch on important issues in the film industry. Halyna’s story will serve as a starting point for a conversation about the role of women in cinematography and, of course, safety on set.</p>
<p>“We’re all generally aware that we’re in kind of a dangerous position,” Cline says of working in the camera zone.</p>
<p>“Her death made it clear how dangerous it is. There’s a difference between it feeling dangerous and being like, oh yeah, it is <em>is </em>very, very dangerous.”</p>
<p>Still, she’s proud to have continued Hutchins’ vision for Rust and is glad they’re finishing it and bringing it to the world.</p>
<p>“I think once people see it, they’ll understand better why we finished this. I think it’s been portrayed as a kind of low-budget genre film and I think it’s anything but. I think it’s a very beautiful film. It’s Halyna’s best work.”</p>
<p>EnergaCAMERIMAGE 2024 will take place from November 16-23.</p>
