There are shows with storytelling, and then there’s storytelling…with a beat. Join Snap Judgment host Glynn Washington and KPCC In Person on Saturday, November 17, at The Theatre at Ace Hotel.

The era of the silent film made way for sound and talkies in 1929, which was the first and last year a silent film won best picture at the Academy Awards. That is until Michel Hazanavicius’s 2011 film “The Artist,” a love letter in the style of those black-and-white silent movies, won best picture – along with four other Academy Awards, three Golden Globes, seven BAFTAs, and a slew of other critical honors.
