'Rust' Premieres Without Alec Baldwin Amid Controversy and Mixed Emotions

TL;DR Summary
Alec Baldwin was not invited to the world premiere of his film "Rust" at the EnergaCamerimage film festival in Poland, as organizers felt his presence would be too distracting.

The decision to screen "Rust" was controversial, with some viewing it as inappropriate due to the circumstances of Hutchins' death. The film's completion was seen as a way to honor Hutchins' work and support her family.
