La terapia de reminiscencia, la cual consiste en la evocación de memorias en personas con demencia a través de materiales de soporte, es un recurso poco utilizado en países latinoamericanos, debido a la carencia de materiales apropiados y a la falta de una guía o método fácil de ejecutar. El uso del cine como herramienta de la terapia de reminiscencia ha sido una incursión reciente, su aplicación se ha llevado a cabo en el Reino Unido así como en los Estados Unidos de Norteamérica. Bajo el supuesto: El cine puede detonar recuerdos en las personas mayores con demencia, además de funcionar como integrador de diversos elementos de la cultura material simbólica referentes al tiempo correspondiente al llamado golpe de reminiscencia, se realizaron tres intervenciones en un grupo de 15 personas mayores con demencia, ubicado en la ciudad de Toluca, México. Se proyectó la película del cine mexicano de la época de oro: “Yo soy gallo dónde quiera (Jimmy)” (1954). Su proyección fue dividida en tres sesiones, en las cuales se utilizó material de soporte, extraído de la película, dicho material fue clasificado de acuerdo a los sentidos del cuerpo humano con el fin de promover la estimulación sensorial en los participantes. Las personas mayores con demencia se mostraron interesadas al hablar de películas y cine. Se obtuvieron recuerdos autobiográficos de los participantes, así como cambios positivos en su estado de ánimo y conducta.
