US director Martin Scorsese and actor Robert de Niro also on Sunday discussed the changing nature of cinema in the age of streaming services on the sidelines of the Marrakech Film Festival.

De Niro said during a news conference that "Movies have to be shown on a big screen." Their remarks come with the ninth collaboration between Scorsese and double Oscar winner De Niro - gangster movie "The Irishman" - expected to be released next year by streaming giant Netflix. - AFP
