Initially set for December 4-7, 2025, the BVFF has been postponed to 2026 as a tribute to the late Assamese singer Zubeen Garg. The decision was announced through an Instagram statement, citing respect and love for the legendary artist.
The statement read, "It is with a heavy heart that the 10th edition of the Brahmaputra Valley Film Festival, originally scheduled for December 4–7, 2025, has been postponed to a later date in 2026. This decision comes as Assam mourns the loss of its most beloved cultural icon, Zubeen Garg, whose voice and vision defined generations.

"As a festival deeply rooted in the cultural and emotional fabric of this land, we feel it is only right to pause our celebrations this year, in remembrance and respect.
