German subscription video-on-demand (SVOD) service Watchever has created a section for arthouse movies.
The Arthaus Classics channel launched at the occasion of the 66th Berlinale contains masterpieces of film history from directors such as Volker Schlöndorff, Werner Herzog, Rainer Werner Fassbinder and Margarethe von Trotta.
The productions turned their main characters into icons and won several awards, for example films like Deutschland im Herbst, Homo Faber, Fitzcarraldo and Nosferatu.
The new channel is operated in collaboration with film distributor Studiocanal which, like Watchever, is a subsidiary of French media company Vivendi.
