The Tribeca Film Festival announced its programme for its 2022 Talks and Reunions series on Monday, which includes a screening of Taylor Swift’s All Too Well: The Short Film in New York City.

Taylor Swift’s latest directorial attempt is making the rounds at film festivals.

The Tribeca Film Festival announced the roster for its 2022 Talks and Reunions series on Monday, which includes a screening of All Too Well: The Short Film and a discussion with the 32-year-old artist in front of an audience on Saturday, June 11.

The screening event, dubbed “A Conversation with Taylor Swift,” will take place at the Beacon Theater in Manhattan, New York, at 3 p.m. EST, and tickets are on sale now at tribecafilm.com.

Pharrell Williams, Cynthia Erivo, Seth Meyers, Aidy Bryant, Tyler Perry, Gayle King, and Al Pacino are among the high-profile figures scheduled to engage in conversations during the 2022 Tribeca Film Festival, which runs from June 8 to June 19.

Paula Weinstein said, “We are excited to present a compelling slate of Talks, Reunions, and Master Classes from leading storytellers across film, television, music, art, and comedy,”

“Audiences will have the opportunity to hear from a diverse and captivating lineup of award-winning entertainers at the forefront of cultural leadership.”

Swift released the 13-minute short film “All Too Well (10 Minute Version) (Taylor’s Version)” in November 2021, which serves as a music video for “All Too Well (10 Minute Version) (Taylor’s Version),” an extended version of the fan-favorite song from 2012’s Red featured on last year’s Red (Taylor’s Version) — the latest album in her ongoing series of re-recordings. All Too Well was written and directed by the musician, who also features in the video. Stranger Things actress Sadie Sink and Teen Wolf actor Dylan O’Brien play a young Swift and her ex-lover, thought to be Jake Gyllenhaal, in the short film.

The film, directed by Rina Yang, follows the story given by the song’s evocative lyrics, with its co-leads taking a love journey upstate that ends in a split. Swift held a special screening for fans in New York City after the video’s release, where she also performed the song’s longer version for the first time and spoke with O’Brien, 30, and Sink, 20.

Swift spoke out ahead of the screening about how “All Too Well” has taken on new meaning for her since it was first released on Red in 2012.

Swift said, “The most important thing about this particular project is that this is a song that would not be a special song in every setlist I do, in every single list where someone says, ‘These are the best songs she’s done’ — that was all because of you,”

“A record label didn’t pick this song as a single. We never made a video for it. This was a song that started out as a song on the album, just a simple track 5. And you went and turned it into what it is now,”

“It started out as a song that was my favorite. It was about something very personal to me. It was hard to perform it live. Now, for me, honestly, this song is 100 percent about us, and for you.”
