QUENEAU Raymond.
MANUSCRIT autograph, Bang Bang, [1958]| 5 pages in-4 on 5 sheets of school notebook, with erasures and corrections.
Commentary for a short film on the history of aviation.
The filmmaker Jean JABELY (1921-2013) and Raymond Queneau had already collaborated on a short animated film on the birth of the automobile, Teuf-Teuf, in 1956. The team reunited again for this Bang Bang, dedicated to the beginnings of aviation.
Queneau imagines that it is a bird that speaks and retraces all the steps that led men to be able to move in the air: "I have observed man for centuries. He has never been able to face a concrete situation. He has always had a taste for escape.
Existence has its charms, yet he dreamed of leaving all that and flying far... far... far away..." Queneau thus reviews the dreams of flying machines from Icarus to Restif de la Bretonne, via Cyrano de Bergerac. Then he marks the great dates that have marked the history of aerial navigation: Pilâtre de Rozier, Felix du Temple, the Wright brothers, Santos-Dumont, up to Lindbergh.
The file also includes the film's storyboard drawn by Jean JABELY (11 p.)| the typescript of Queneau's commentary (5 p. in-4, plus 2 carbon copies| 3 typed copies of the last page of the screenplay, with an additional paragraph| a handwritten note giving Queneau technical information| a page of Queneau's pen drawings of rockets.
Attached is the file for Teuf-Teuf (short film by Jean Jabely, commentary by Raymond Queneau, 1956): corrected typescript (4 p. in-4)| cut-out with description of the images opposite the commentary (6 p.
in-4 dactyl.)| 4 letters from the production (Les Films Armorial) addressed to R. Queneau (August-September 1956). This documentary tells the story of the origins and beginnings of the automobile, from prehistory to the V8 engine.
Raymond Queneau has embellished this didactic text with his own strokes of humour. Thus in the introduction: "As Karl Marx said, the exploitation of man always begins with the exploitation of woman.
Although still sometimes used today, this means of locomotion proved insufficient. Man looked for other helpers, also chosen from the animal kingdom, and preferably more docile ones"...
