Nine films shaped by the Brahmaputra, its islands, ferries, tributaries, floods and riverine communities.
The Brahmaputra is more than a landscape in Assamese cinema. It provides livelihoods, separates communities, destroys homes, carries memories and reshapes the lives of those living beside it. These nine films move through boats and bridges, Majuli and the chars, recurring floods and river-driven displacement. Together, they reveal how deeply Assam’s cinema is connected to its great river and the many lives within its vast river system.
