'Rust's premiere will honour late cinematographer Halyna Hutchins

Alongside staging the world premiere, festival organisers will hold a panel discussion featuring Joel, cinematographer Bianca Cline, and Halyna's mentor Stephen Lighthill after the screening.

It will see the trio discuss events surrounding the movie and how production continued with Bianca following Halyna's death, as well as talk about the role of women in cinematography and safety on film sets.

According to Deadline, Ukrainian-born Halyna is said to have campaigned to the director early in production to screen the film at Camerimage, which honours international cinematographers.

Festival director Marek Zydowicz said in a statement: "During the festival, we honoured Halyna's memory with a moment of silence and a panel of cinematographers discussed safety on set.

"Now, once again, together with cinematographers and film enthusiasts, we will have this special opportunity to remember her."

It is currently unclear whether Alec - whose trial for involuntary manslaughter was thrown out in August after a judge ruled evidence had been mishandled - will attend the premiere.

The 'Boss Baby' star has repeatedly insisted that he didn't pull the trigger of the gun or know why it contained live ammunition.

Hannah Gutierrez-Reed, the film's armourer, was jailed for 18 months in April after being found guilty of charges connected to the incident.

'Rust' resumed filming and finished its shoot in May 2023, saying in an Instagram post marking its completion: "It's been a long and difficult road. But we reach the end of the trail today."

Camerimage runs from November 16-23.
