Overview
- Toronto International Film Festival confirmed on Thursday that five films — Alpha Gang, Glaxo, The Housewife, Love of Your Life and Your Mother Your Mother Your Mother — will screen in its Special Presentations program.
- TIFF listed Glaxo, Love of Your Life, The Housewife and Your Mother Your Mother Your Mother as world premieres while designating Alpha Gang an international premiere, a status that affects each film’s festival and market path.
- Alpha Gang, directed by David and Nathan Zellner and starring Riley Keough and Cate Blanchett, is described as an alien-themed comedy with a high-profile ensemble; TIFF’s international-premiere listing suggests it already played in the U.S., most likely at Telluride.
- The announced films pair notable actors with established and debut directors, including Benjamín Naishtat’s Glaxo set in Argentina, Rachel Morrison’s romance Love of Your Life starring Margaret Qualley, Ben Shirinian’s The Housewife featuring Naomi Watts, and Bassam Tariq’s Mahershala Ali thriller.
- TIFF will reveal additional Galas and Special Presentations in the coming days and weeks as the festival prepares to run from Sept. 10 through Sept. 20, 2026, a key window for distributors to set fall release and awards plans.
