Macau is a small city. So is the city's number of video artists. Tracing
back Macau's development of video art is difficult; Certain figures
appeared during certain periods of time, made some noise, and retreated.
In the early nineties, the Macau Arts Institute organized the city's first
course in video production. Some of the artists who went abroad for
studies in film and video art began to return to Macau in the
mid-nineties.

The videos showcased in "At Least We Have Them" begin with works produced
from the eighties onwards. No commonality is found in these works other
than that they are elementarily amateur in production and presented as
alternative expression, including that of narration, experimentation,
documentary and realism.

"At Least We Have Them" is organized by the Associacao Audio-Visual Cut,
whose on-going efforts of promoting video art to the Macau public has
created a refreshing current of video production and activity on the
island.
