Dr. Bish Remedies

About This Movie

Dr. Bish Remedies is a real gem in Lipman's catalogue. The film feels like a cozy, intimate chat with Bruce Baillie, who’s so easygoing, you almost forget it's a documentary. Set against the backdrop of Camano Island, the atmosphere is very much a slice of life—quiet, reflective, and tinged with nostalgia. The pacing is relaxed, allowing you to soak in Baillie’s thoughts on filmmaking and art. You can sense his passion and the practical effects of his work come through in the anecdotes. It’s not flashy, but that’s what makes it distinctive—a genuine connection to a filmmaker who doesn’t need to prove anything. The simplicity is its strength, really.
