member Lisa is set to make her documentary debut with Always Lalisa, a feature length film that will have its world premiere at the 2026 Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF), one of the world's most prestigious film events.
Announced by Sony Music Vision, the documentary will be screened as part of the festival's Gala program, taking place from Sept. 10 to 20. Directed by Sue Kim, Always Lalisa follows the singer through a defining period of her career as she steps away from BLACKPINK
to focus on her solo journey.
According to the film's official synopsis, the documentary explores the challenges and opportunities Lisa faced during her first year of independence since childhood. It follows her as she launches a solo music career, pursues acting, builds her own brand and navigates life away from the spotlight while preparing for her eventual return to BLACKPINK
.
Unlike a traditional concert film, Always Lalisa promises a more intimate look at the artist's personal and professional life, offering fans behind-the-scenes access to one of the busiest periods of her career.
The documentary arrives after an extraordinary run of milestones for Lisa. Over the past year, the singer has performed on some of the world's biggest stages, completed a solo performance at Coachella, made her acting debut in HBO's The White Lotus, appeared on the cover of Vanity Fair, joined the Met Gala host committee and expanded her acting career with two upcoming Netflix productions. She is also preparing for her sold-out VIVA LA LISA residency at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace later this year.
The project is directed by Sue Kim and produced by Sony Music Vision in collaboration with RCA Records, Tremolo Productions, Salt Water Productions and Lisa's own company, LLOUD Co., highlighting the artist's growing involvement behind the scenes of her solo career.
The Toronto International Film Festival is widely regarded as one of the industry's most influential film festivals, often serving as the launchpad for major international releases and award-season contenders. Premiering Always Lalisa at TIFF underscores the documentary's significance beyond the music industry and reflects Lisa's expanding presence across entertainment, fashion and film.
While Sony Music Vision has confirmed the documentary's festival premiere, no theatrical or streaming release date has been announced.
In many ways, Always Lalisa represents more than a documentary, it captures a pivotal moment in Lisa's career. As she continues to establish herself beyond BLACKPINK
, the film documents the transition from global idol to multifaceted artist, entrepreneur and actress, offering what may become one of the most personal portraits of her career to date.
