This article examines Tanvir Mokammel’s documentary Seemantorekha as a historical text that opens a representational space to engage with the memories of the 1947 Bengal Partition. Seemantorekha documents the journey of four individuals to their erstwhile homes in Bangladesh and West Bengal. In the moment of seeing their ancestral homes, they share the ‘Third Space’ of being, the premise of which transcends the ideological normative of nations and borders. journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/2348448921999039
