The star attended the festival alone, where she also gave a press conference, after stating that she is using her family to rebuild her reputation through her new reality show.
Rust ceased production after a prop gun held by the Still Alice star went off on October 21, 2021, killing cinematographer Halyna Hutchins and injuring director Joel Souza.
Alec Baldwin, 66, was all smiles as he hit the red carpet at the 42nd Turin Film Festival in Italy on Monday.

Somehow, a real bullet had entered the antique Colt revolver Alec was holding.
Hutchins, 42, had been demonstrating how she wanted him to hold the gun when it went off and fatally shot him in the chest.
Immediately afterward, the Boss Baby actor said he was heartbroken, but denied responsibility and was released on a charge of involuntary manslaughter on a technicality.
But more than three years later, the Hollywood veteran isn’t retreating into the shadows.
Instead, he is immersed in a multiple attempt to relaunch his career.
He has a new spot on the legendary American comedy show Saturday Night Live, a reality show in which he, his wife Hilaria and their seven children appear, and is about to receive an award for “lifetime achievement” in film. .
And the actor is moving forward with his new reality show despite the continued disputes.
Cameras began rolling on The Baldwins, which will air on the TLC cable network, earlier this year, before he faced involuntary manslaughter charges.
A trailer suggests it will depict the chaos of life for the big family in their New York home and the clan have been seen filming cookouts in The Hamptons.

Immediately after the shooting, the Boss Baby actor said he was heartbroken, but denied responsibility and was released on a charge of involuntary manslaughter on a technicality.

Hilaria, controversial for adopting a Spanish persona, despite being raised as Hillary in Boston by American parents, appears to have been instrumental in putting the family on screen.
There was a time when she was interested in joining the cast of The Real Housewives of New York before turning her attention to a pitch for her own show.
Insiders say The Baldwins, out in January, features Alec as the doting older dad, the butt of “funny” jokes about how out of control his brood is and how he struggles to keep up with them.
Many, however, disapprove of the measure. One online critic wrote: ‘If he had any decency he would be gone permanently after what he did. Instead, he flaunts his family in a show after destroying a different family.
Others criticize Hilaria for calling her: “More thirsty (for attention) than a camel in the Sahara and as Spanish as the average Bostonian.”
And although Alec has been traveling around the world to collect awards, he was noticeably absent from Rust’s emotional premiere in Poland.
At the event, the injured director and friends of late cinematographer Halyna gathered in her honor.
The film premiered at the EnergaCAMERIMAGE Film Festival in Toruń, Poland, on Wednesday, but without Alec.

It is understood that the actor was not invited to the event for fear that his presence would overshadow the premiere.
Tickets for the world premiere sparked an online frenzy as demand crashed the private booking website as the event began to sell out on Tuesday morning.
In addition to the world premiere, festival organizers held a panel discussion with Souza, cinematographer Bianca Cline, who helmed the project, and Halyna’s mentor Stephen Lighthill after the screening.
The trio discussed the events surrounding the film and how production continued with Bianca after Hutchins’ death, as well as talking about the role of women in filmmaking and safety on film sets.
Before the controversial premiere, the My Sister’s Keeper star was criticized by Hutchins’ mother, Olga Solovey, who decided not to attend the event.
‘I had always hoped to meet my daughter in Poland to see her work come to life on screen. Unfortunately, that was taken from me when Alec Baldwin fired his gun and killed my daughter.
