LISA shares Always Lalisa trailer ahead of October cinema release
LISA has shared a new trailer for her documentary Always Lalisa, one week before it opens in cinemas worldwide.
The trailer arrived on Monday morning, October 5, Billboard reported. The film will play in IMAX and cinemas around the world from October 12 for a limited run.
The wait is short. The cinema dates are tight.
The documentary is directed by Sue Kim, whose credits include The Last of the Sea Women. IMAX describes Always Lalisa as an intimate documentary following LISA's transformative year performing solo on the global stage.
In the new footage, LISA talks openly about leaving a familiar studio setup. She says that while in Korea she had worked with one producer for many years. Working with new producers and songwriters felt different, and she admits she held back at first.
She explains she felt shy around new collaborators because she did not really know them, and felt embarrassed showing off her vocal skills. "I think I lacked confidence," she says.
For fans, this means a more personal view of the singer. The focus here is on the studio, on learning to trust new voices in the room.
The cinema release is structured as an event. IMAX lists October 12, 2026 as the release date, with the film marked as Coming Soon and billed as Two Nights Only. Its event listing names October 12 and 14 as the two IMAX nights.
The wider limited engagement in cinemas is being handled by Trafalgar Releasing, a distributor that handles event cinema releases. The project was announced on September 2 by Sony Music Vision, according to Sony Music.
Tickets for the theatrical run went on sale on September 9 at AlwaysLaLisa.com. After cinemas, Always Lalisa will stream exclusively on YouTube Premium later this year, which means it will not be available on other streaming platforms at launch.
That two-step pattern is now common for music documentaries. A short cinema window comes first, then a streaming release reaches a wider audience at home.
