The 2026 Toronto International Film Festival announced five additions to its Special Presentation program today.
Alpha Gang (Dir. David Zellner, Nathan Zellner)
This sci-fi comedy from the Zellner brothers (“Sasquatch Sunset”) concerns a gang of humanoid aliens who visit Earth with the intent to wipe everyone out only to take a liking to its people. The film boasts a big cast including Cate Blanchett, Chris Pine, Dave Bautista, Léa Seydoux, Lily-Rose Depp and Adria Arjona.
Glaxo (Dir. Benjamín Naishtat)
Brazilian filmmakers have been on a heater of late, and this film from director Benjamín Naishtat (“Rojo”) may continue that streak. A decades-spanning film set in a small provincial town between the 1950s and 1980s, “Glaxo” follows four young men whose lives intersect in a tale of lust and revenge amid a backdrop of unrest in Brazil.
Love of Your Life (Dir. Rachel Morrison)
The sophomore directorial feature from filmmaker Rachel Morrison, an acclaimed DP who became the first woman nominated for the Best Cinematography Oscar in 2018 for “Mudbound,” is a romantic drama produced by Ryan Gosling about a nurse (Margaret Qualley) swept up in a great love affair. The film also stars Patrick Schwarzenegger, Aaron Pierre, Gabriel Basso and Catherine Keener.
The Housewife (Dir. Ben Shirinian)
Your Mother Your Mother Your Mother (Dir. Bassam Tariq)
