Ken Loach will receive an honorary Golden Bear award at the 64th Berlin Film Festival.
The event will pay tribute to Loach's life and career in February by screening his 1993 classic Raining Stones.
Berlin Film Festival director Dieter Kosslick has called Loach "one of Europe's great directors".
Kosslick went on to say: "Over his almost 50-year career, he has shown an extraordinary degree of continuity, while remaining innovative at all times. His profound interest in people and their individual fates, as well as his critical commitment to society have found expression in a variety of cinematic approaches.
"We are honouring Ken Loach as a director and greatly admire him for how he reflects on social injustices with humour in his films."
The 64th Berlin Film Festival will be held from February 6 to February 16.
Loach has directed many critically-acclaimed films throughout his career, including Cathy Home, Riff-Raff, The Angels' Share and Route Irish.
