Description

EAI partnered with the Migrating Forms Festival to present The Irish Tapes, produced by John Reilly and Stefan Moore in association with Global Village. This rarely screened work is an hour-long edit culled from over 100 hours of footage from Northern Ireland, profiling one of the most volatile moments in the decades-long conflict. From 1971 to 1973, Reilly and Moore recorded documentation on 1/2" videotape that offered an immediacy, intimacy, and subjectivity that was then rare in broadcast television journalism. To introduce the screening, John Reilly's son, Lars Reilly was in conversation with EAI's Director of Distribution, Rebecca Cleman.
