Guwahati, Oct 16: The organisers of the Brahmaputra Valley Film Festival (BVFF) have announced that the 10th edition of the festival, originally scheduled for December 4-7, has been postponed to a later date in 2026.
This decision comes as Assam mourns the death of Zubeen Garg. In an official statement, Festival Director Tanushree Hazarika said, “His passing is not just a loss for Assam, but for every individual who found their rhythm and identity through his art. As a festival rooted in this land and its people, it doesn’t feel right to celebrate when the heart of our culture is in mourning. This year, we pause to remember, to reflect and to honour him.”
Pallavi Chumki Barua, Creative Director of BVFF, said, “We are deeply grateful to our filmmakers, partners, and audience for their understanding and continued support. BVFF is a celebration of creativity, community, and the stories that bring us together. While this year is a time for pause, we look ahead to returning stronger, with the same passion for meaningful cinema and cultural exchange.”
