Aliens Will Attend The Milano Cortina 2026 Olympics Winter Games
Edgar Allan Poets recently took part in creating a video trailer promoting the 2026 Winter Olympics in Milan–Cortina.
You may wonder what a band has to do with a sporting event.
Chris Mariotti, the band’s frontman, is originally from Cortina d’Ampezzo. Alongside composing music for Edgar Allan Poets, he is also a filmmaker with a long-standing passion for astronomy and science fiction. This summer, those interests converged into an idea for a short film.
Drawing inspiration from the iconic 1997 film Contact starring Jodie Foster, Chris built the concept around the speed at which sound waves travel through space.
When Milan–Cortina was selected as the host city for the 2026 Winter Olympics back in 2019. Those sound waves began their endless journey outward. By 2025, they would have traveled roughly 64,901,088 km. A tiny leap on a cosmic scale, yet an unfathomably large distance for us.
A small distance for the size of the universe but very large for us.
What if an alien craft intercepted that signal and managed to decode it?
Would these beings be curious and friendly sports enthusiasts… or would their interest in the Olympics hide a darker motivation?
This short film imagines the moment everything begins. The story is only the prologue, with plans already underway to expand the narrative into a full TV series.
The video has as its soundtrack the song The G.O.A.T which you can listen to here: Download It Here
The short movie was directed and edited by Chris Mariotti and the music and sound design were also done by Chris.
