Cineciento podcast on the life and work of the poet Jaime Gil de Biedma with Paco Clavel, the film director Sigfrid Monleón and Juan Sánchez, creator of the Cineciento podcast series. Jaime Gil de Biedma was born into a bourgeois family. In 1946 he began his law studies at the University of Barcelona, ​​although he finished at the University of Salamanca. From his time as a student in Barcelona, ​​he maintains great friendships, including Carlos Barral, José Agustín Goytisolo, Gabriel Ferrater and Josep Maria Castellet, with whom he shares long literary gatherings. Knowledge of English lyric - in 1953 he paid a brief visit to Oxford - was one of the most characteristic features of his poetics and he presided over much of his essay work. Paco Mayans, who worked at the Spanish Embassy in London, introduces him to English poetry, the work of Auden and especially T.S. Eliot, poets who will mark all of his work. He translated into Spanish "The use or poetry and the use of criticism", by T.S. Eliot, and "Goodbye Berlin" by Christopher Isherwood. Considered one of the most important contemporary poets, his favorite themes are: concern for the loss of youth and love, the destruction of memories and life in general and, above all, time. Gil de Biedma's poetry is called "poetry of experience", although he himself stated that it should be called "of experience", since "what happens in a poem has never happened to one". He also cultivated prose and essays and extended his work to criticism. Paco Clavel, Spanish artist and pop singer, creator during the Movida of "guarry-pop" and "shabby Lux", continues to be the main promoter of this aesthetic. Besides radio, he does sessions as a DJ. mainly in Madrid. Sigfrid Monleón, Spanish screenwriter, film director and theatre director, has been nominated for the Goya award on several occasions, in 2002 for the script of "The island of the Dutchman", in 2005 for the documentary by various authors "There is reason", in 2008 for the documentary "The last trick", and in 2009 for the film "The Consul of Sodoma", a biography about the poet Jaime Gil de Biedma. Juan Sánchez is the creator of the "Cineciento" podcast, which plays at being a radio fanzine about the passion for cinema that has less space in other media. Being a radio program, they talk about the cinema from its sounds: music, songs and dialogues serve to dive into the cinematographic medium and talk about films, actors, actresses, directors, composers, etc., in many cases little known and not highly valued.
