Camerimage: Halyna Hutchins’ Mother Plans To Skip ‘Rust’ Premiere & Says Alec Baldwin Seeks To “Unjustly Profit” From Shooting: “There Is Still No Justice For My Daughter”

Poland’s Camerimage Film Festival will tomorrow host what it has described as a tribute debut screening of Rust to honor the late Ukrainian cinematographer Halyna Hutchins.

Hutchins’ mother Olga Solovey, however, will not be in attendance. In a statement sent to Deadline this afternoon, Solovey said she would skip the screening and avoid promoting Rust due to Alec Baldwin’s “refusal” to take responsibility for Hutchins’ death. “Alec Baldwin continues to increase my pain with his refusal to apologize to me and his refusal to take responsibility for her death,” Solovey’s statement read. “Instead, he seeks to unjustly profit from his killing of my daughter.

That is the reason why I refuse to attend the festival for the promotion of “Rust,” especially now when there is still no justice for my daughter.” We received a second statement signed by Solovey’s attorney Gloria Allred, which said Hutchins’ family had been “disrespected” by Baldwin whom Allred wrote “has never called them to apologize.” “Even worse, he argued, through his attorneys, that Halyna was emotionally distant from her family in Ukraine.

That is false, hurtful, and insulting. Further, the decision not to even call the family to say he is sorry is cruel and dishonors Halyna and her memory,” the statement read.
