Lowenstein attended Brinsley Road Community School from 1973 to 1974; and graduated from Swinburne Institute of Technology, Film and Television Department in 1979.

His short film, Evictions (1979), which won the Erwin Rado Prize – for Best Short Film – at the Melbourne International Film Festival the following year, described Melbourne during the Great Depression. It was based on his mother's book, Weevils in the Flour (1978). The film detailed police evicting unemployed unionists.{{Citation | author1=Halliday, Eric | author2=Thompson, Peter | author-link2=Peter Thompson (broadcaster) | author3=Lowenstein, Richard | author4=Australian Film and Television School | author-link4=Australian Film, Television and Radio School | title=Richard Lowenstein on the Making of Strikebound | date=1982 | publisher=Australian Film and Television School | url=http://trove.nla.gov.au/work/11476703 | access-date=14 May 2013 | archive-date=11 June 2015 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150611004128/http://trove.nla.gov.au/work/11476703 | url-status=live }} In 1980 Lowenstein directed a music video, "Leap for Lunch", for the debut single by art punk band, The Ears – he shared a house with their lead singer, Sam Sejavka.McFarlane, [https://web.archive.org/web/20040419221031/http://www.whammo.com.au/encyclopedia.asp?articleid=306 'The Ears'] entry.

In 1985 he directed White City: The Music Movie, a 60-minute video, for former The Who guitarist, Pete Townshend. Geoffrey Giuliano in his book, Behind Blues Eyes: The Life of Pete Townshend (2002), described "[T]he highlight of the video is the poolside staging of the electric 'Face the Face', in which director Richard Lowenstein effectively captures the excitement of a big-band performance and Townshend's joyous jitterbugging ... in a gold lamé, forties-style tuxedo Lowenstein reveals more story line in these five minutes than the entire video".{{cite book | url = https://books.google.com/books?id=P_zYB4irg8UC&q=%22Richard+Lowenstein%22&pg=PA212 | title = Behind Blues Eyes: The Life of Pete Townshend | last = Giuliano | first = Geoffrey | publisher = Rowman & Littlefield | year = 2002 | isbn = 978-0-81541-070-6 | access-date = 9 October 2020 | archive-date = 27 November 2023 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20231127234546/https://books.google.com/books?id=P_zYB4irg8UC&q=%22Richard+Lowenstein%22&pg=PA212 | url-status = live }} It was released with Townshend's concept album, White City: A Novel, and included him discussing the music.{{cite web | url = http://www.innersense.com.au/mif/lowenstein.html | title = Richard Lowenstein | first = Bill | last = Mousoulis | work = Melbourne Independent Filmmakers | publisher = Innersense | access-date = 17 May 2013 | archive-date = 13 May 2013 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20130513110555/http://www.innersense.com.au/mif/lowenstein.html | url-status = live }}

In 1986 he wrote and directed a feature film, Dogs in Space, which highlighted late-1970s Melbourne's little band scene with the lead character Sam (portrayed by INXS' lead singer, Michael Hutchence) based on Lowenstein's experiences with The Ear's Sejavka.{{cite web | last = Galvin | first = Peter | date = 7 September 2009 | url = http://www.sbs.com.au/films/article/single/8032/%22We%27re-living-on-dog-food.-So-What?%22:-Dogs-in-Space | title = 'We're Luving on Dog Food.

In 2009 SBS TV's Peter Galvin described the movie as a "cult classic" and "for its fans there's never really been anything quite like [it], before or since". Lowenstein recalled the "punk scene was an embarrassment to the Australian music industry back then. In a similar way, Dogs in Space was a total embarrassment to the Australian film industry because it preferred and knew how to handle innocuous candy-coated fare, like The Man from Snowy River".

For Irish group, U2, he has provided music videos – "Desire" and "Angel of Harlem" (both 1988) and a concert performance film, U2: LoveTown (1989).{{cite web |url=http://theenvelope.latimes.com/factsheets/awardsdb/env-awards-db-search,0,7169155.htmlstory?searchtype=all&query=inxs&x=16&y=12 |title=Awards Database – search results – INXS |work=Los Angeles Times |access-date=3 February 2010 |archive-date=27 May 2011 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110527012840/http://theenvelope.latimes.com/factsheets/awardsdb/env-awards-db-search,0,7169155.htmlstory?searchtype=all&query=inxs&x=16&y=12 |url-status=live }}Spencer et al, (2007) [http://www.whiteroom.com.au/howlspace/whoswho/PHPMuso.php?categorywho=musos&userasks=36442 Lowenstein, Richard]{{Dead link|date=March 2024 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }} entry.
