BLACKPINK member Lisa is set to achieve another major milestone in her solo career as her first-ever solo documentary, Always Lalisa, has been selected to premiere at the 2026 Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF). The documentary will make its world debut during the prestigious festival, which is scheduled to take place from September 10 to 20, 2026, marking Lisa's first feature-length film centered entirely on her individual journey.

According to the official description, Always Lalisa chronicles Lisa's evolution as she navigates the pressures of launching her solo career while simultaneously expanding her presence in music, acting and business.

The film reportedly includes behind-the-scenes footage from the making of Lisa's debut solo album Alter Ego, along with preparations for major performances and career milestones.

Produced by Sony Music Vision in collaboration with Lisa's company LLOUD, the documentary was first announced in 2025. Since then, anticipation has steadily grown among fans eager to see an unfiltered account of the singer's journey beyond BLACKPINK.
The TIFF premiere further cements Lisa's expanding global influence.
