LIVING LIFE IN THE SLOW LANE

We are petrified of the slow lane because we have allowed ourselves to be defined by the pace of our lives and our accomplishments. The slow lane does two things: 1) it makes us simply slow down — in our mindset, this means that we cease to be productive, and 2) the slow lane tends to make us sit in the silence — we cannot rush so we cannot do and the silence is ponderous and chilling to us because, for those few brief moments, we are put into a place where we are alone with ourselves… You, too will get caught in the slow lane. It’s inevitable in spite of all that you might do. But perhaps next time, you’ll choose to stay in the slow lane, switch off the radio and thank God for the time He’s allowed you to stop.

SYNOPSIS
“PISAY”, directed by Auraeus
Solito PSHS ’86, with the script written by Henry Grageda, PSHS ’86, a finalist
at the 2007 Cinemalaya Philippine Independent Film Festival, is a story about
eight students who makes it to the premier science high school during the
politically volatile 80’s in the Philippines as they come of age in a time
filled with excitement, conflict and change.

These students find the
world outside, with the chaos of the end of the Marcos dictatorship erupting
into the People Power revolution in 1986, being replicated within the school as
they struggle to graduate, contend with teachers, classmates, family, school
officials, and a new classification system to segregate students into two groups
based on their academic ranking. It chronicles their journey of self discovery
as they go through the joys and pains of adolescence.
