Attention all film and history buffs: The historic Tampa Theatre presents the premiere of Seminole Heights: An Intimate Look at the Early Years. This nostalgic and extensively researched documentary — directed by Gene Howes of Cigar City Pictures and produced by the OSHNA Preservation Committee — traces the early development of the Tampa neighborhood as it flourished through the trials and tribulations of the Great Depression. The film also illustrates the ways that living in a historic house may benefit the future of our planet. Built in 1925 and revered as one of the country's finest "movie palaces," the Tampa Theatre provides a perfectly suitable backdrop for this cinematic exploration of the past. Thurs., April 17, 7:30 p.m., 711 N. Franklin St., downtown Tampa, $5 admission general (free admission and special seating for attendees who lived in Seminole Heights before 1945), 813-610-5255, oldseminoleheights.com.
