Friday will be the day the earth stood still in Santa Monica. The third “Halloween Technology Salon,” put on by the Santa Monica College Academy of Entertainment & Technology will feature a screening the 1958 Sci-Fi classic, “The Day the Earth Stood Still,” combined with live performance art and a live synthesized soundtrack to produce a spooky experience.

The free event, “The Day the Earth Stood Still: A mixed media performance to a screening of the Science Fiction Classic” will include a screening of the silent film, with subtitles.

The event features special guest Monika Frycova, a Czech performance artist, in collaboration with SMC entertainment technology professor David Javelosa, creator of the Halloween salon.

Javelosa is creating a live soundtrack for the film and performance art with digital, analogue and sampling synthesizers. The event will be held at 7 p.m. Friday, Oct. 29 in the screening room (room 235) at SMC’s Academy of Entertainment & Technology, located at 1660 Stewart St. Parking is free.
