After an initial outing last October, filmmakers Lynn Marvin Dingfelder and Larry Wiezycki stage an encore screening of their documentary about La Gaceta, founded in 1922 as the country’s only tri-lingual newspaper, which has documented Tampeño politics, news, social fodder and more.

Tickets to see  ”La Gaceta The Documentary: 100 years and 3 Generations Behind America’s Only Trilingual Newspaper” at Tampa Theatre on Saturday, Feb. 11 at 2 p.m. are on sale now and start at $13.50.

Tampa Theatre can hold considerably more people than the Cuban Club which hosted that fall screening, but it’ll never be big enough to host all the people whose lives have been touched by the work spearheaded by three generations of the Manteiga family.
