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.
