Bruce Baillie (born in 1931, Aberdeen, South Dakota) is an American cinematic artist and founding member of Canyon Cinema in San Francisco.

In 1961, Baillie, along with friend and fellow cinematic artist Chick Strand, among others, founded San Francisco Cinematheque.[1]

His striking body of cinematic work includes such masterpieces as Quick Billy, To Parsifal, Mass For The Dakota Sioux, Castro Street, and the lovely motion pictures Valentin de las Sierras, Roslyn Romance, and Tung, among many others.

In 1991 he was the recipient of AFI’s Maya Deren Independent Film and Video Artists Award.[2][3]

His motion picture film Castro Street (1966) was selected in 1992 for preservation in the United States National Film Registry.

In 2012, Stanford University acquired Bailie's archives and the archives of Canyon Cinema. [1]
