[Asia Economy Reporter Eunmo Koo] Online video service (OTT) Watcha announced on the 19th that it plans to stream the films "Titane" and "Annette," which won the Palme d'Or and Best Director awards at the 74th Cannes Film Festival, after their theatrical release.

This year, Watcha signed import and distribution contracts for "Titane," the new work by director Julia Ducournau, known for the horror film "Raw," and "Annette," the first new film in nine years by director Leos Carax, famous for "Les Amants du Pont-Neuf." Both films were selected for the competition section at Cannes, proving their artistic value, with "Titane" winning the Palme d'Or and "Annette" receiving the Best Director award, raising expectations for their domestic release.

A Watcha representative said, "We take pride in the fact that the two films we imported achieved great success at the Cannes Film Festival. We have been striving to introduce diverse and artistically valuable films to the domestic market, and we are pleased to present these outstanding works, which demonstrate excellent storytelling and composition, not only in theaters but also through streaming services."

Watcha also imported "After Yang," which was invited to the Cannes Film Festival's Un Certain Regard section, and plans to stream it after its theatrical release along with "Titane" and "Annette."
