Martin Scorsese will be honoured with the prestigious David O Selznick Achievement Award in February, the Producers Guild of America (PGA) has announced.

Martin Scorsese will voice a documentary exploring the genius behind British filmmakers Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger, whose body of work has been a “constant source of energy”.

Martin Scorsese has warned cinema is coming to be seen as “comfort food” as he said the medium will “always be much more than a diversion”.
