The Irish Tapes is the first major documentary shot on portable 1/2 inch videotape. Directors Irish-Americans John Reilly and Stefan Moore filmed over a three-year period in the early 1970s with the support of the National Association for Irish Freedom, a US group associated with the Official IRA. Originally shown as a three-channel, twelve-monitor video installation, it was later edited for broadcast on television in the US in 1975.
