Sky Arte documentary chronicles Godai Fest's third edition
A documentary titled 'GODAI – Il festival dei 5 elementi' will premiere on Sky Arte on Wednesday, January 7, 2026, recounting the third edition of Godai Fest, held in September 2025 at Parco Ex Paolo Pini in Milan. The festival was founded by artist Rodrigo D'Erasmo, music producer Daniele 'Il Mafio' Tortora, and visual artist Cristiano Carotti. Directed by Matteo Maggi, the film explores the two-day event through the lens of the five elements—Fire, Earth, Water, Air, and the Eastern concept of Void—each curated by a notable artist: Giovanni Truppi (Water), Rancore (Earth), Isabella Ragonese (Fire), Daniela Pes (Air), and Filippo Timi (Void). The festival aims to dissolve boundaries between artistic languages, merging music, performance, theater, and visual arts into a unified flow inspired by Japanese mystical tradition.
