The duo will be feted as part of the TIFF’s 2024 class of tribute award honorees, which will also include Mike Leigh (awarded the TIFF Ebert Director Award) and Durga Chew-Bose (awarded the TIFF Emerging Talent Award).

Dalmais (“Corsage”) and Ducol (“Little Tickles”) are prominent figures in the French music scene. Dalmais is known for her vocal style and blending of pop, folk and avant-garde elements and Ducol for his creative arrangements and musical prowess.

Though Dalmais has found success with her solo albums, “Le Sac des Filles” and “Le Fil,” together they form a “dynamic duo, pushing the boundaries of contemporary French music.”

“ Variety is honored to be giving Camille and Clément our annual Artisan Award at the Toronto International Film Festival,” Jazz Tangcay, Senior Artisans Editor at Variety , said. “The soundtrack to ‘Emilia Pérez’ is a character within the film and a true gift from these fine musicians. Each song and cue is a work of art. The operatic libretto is filled with highlights, including Selena Gomez’s Spanish pop song and Zoe Saldaña’s gala number. We are such fans of their work and thrilled to present this award to them, recognizing their talent and contribution this year.”
