Guwahati : The organisers of the Brahmaputra Valley Film Festival (BVFF) have announced the postponement of its 10th edition to 2026 as a tribute to the late cultural legend, Zubeen Garg. Originally scheduled to take place from December 4 to 7, 2025, the festival has been deferred in light of the deep grief and mourning that continue to resonate across Assam and the entire Northeast following the artist’s untimely passing.
Festival Director Tanushree Hazarika stated that the decision was made out of respect and love for Zubeen Garg, describing him as “the heart of Assam’s cultural rhythm” and a guiding spirit for the region’s creative community.
BVFF has also announced that full refunds will be issued to filmmakers who had already submitted their entries. The organisers assured that the festival will return stronger in 2026, celebrating not only cinema but also the enduring unity and artistic spirit that Zubeen embodied throughout his life.
The postponement stands as a heartfelt gesture from Assam’s film fraternity honouring a voice that inspired generations and continues to echo through the cultural soul of the region.
