The Academy Award-winning silent film "The Artist" will be shown at Berkeley Heights Public Library. In Hollywood in 1927, George Valentin is a silent movie superstar, but the advent of the talkies will sound the death knell for his career and see him fall into oblivion. For young extra Peppy Miller, it seems the sky’s the limit – major movie stardom awaits. The Artist won the Academy Award for Best Picture in 2012 for telling the story of Peppy and George’s interlinked destinies. This silent, black and white film is rated PG-13. It is free and open to all. Doors will open at 6:45 p.m.
