Abstract
This paper delves into the intricate convergence of intermediality, intertextuality, and cinematic expressions within Ferry Radax’s Austrian fictional short film, “Sonne, halt!” The theoretical framework draws profound insights from Theodor Adorno and Gilles Deleuze, offering a comprehensive analysis of the film’s intricate relationship with a new form of literary autonomy, the Austrian Film Avantgarde, language games, and the innovative concept of camera autonomy. At thecore of this exploration lies the challenge posed to conventional notions of literary autonomy by Sonne, halt!—a film that transcends traditional boundaries between distinct artistic forms. Radax’s reinvention of literary autonomy is emblematic of a collective art concept, presenting a nuanced tapestry of individual expressions interwoven through intermedial and cinematic means. The film not only confronts the established norms of individual artistic expression but also ventures into uncharted territories of collective, intermedial storytelling.
