Overview
- TIFF organizers and production partners confirmed on Monday that Always Lalisa will make its world premiere in the Toronto International Film Festival’s Gala program during the Sept. 10–20, 2026 festival.
- The feature-length film is directed by Sue Kim and lists production by Sony Music Vision in association with RCA Records, Tremolo Productions, Salt Water Productions and LLOUD CO.
- Festival materials and reporting describe the roughly 97-minute documentary as an intimate, multilingual (English, Thai, Korean) portrait of Lisa that was filmed over about a year.
- Coverage says the film follows Lisa through a pivotal solo year that included a 2025 Coachella set and a 2026 FIFA World Cup opening-ceremony performance, but on-camera appearances by her Blackpink bandmates have not been confirmed.
- The TIFF Gala placement gives the project immediate visibility that could accelerate distribution talks; TIFF exposure will precede announced festival screening times and any theatrical or streaming release plans.
