Film Maker
In his autobiography and in other published writings, Downes admits that one of his earliest ambitions was to make films. He has made a few of them over the years, including:
- The "Case" for Crop Circles (1997)
- The Owlman and Others (2000)
- Eel or no Eel(2006)
- The lair of the Red Worm (2007)
- The Dragons of Africa (2007)
- The Savage Land (2008)
- Mountains of Mystery (2009)
- Riddle of the Hills (2011)
- Emily and the Big Cats (To be released 2011)
He freely admits that his first two films are "rubbish", the former of which is "a load of avant garde bullshit", and the second "a seedy art movie; a semi homage to John Waters, featuring gratuitous nudity, violence, and a pre-op transsexual Nazi." His more recent films, however, are part of the ongoing CFZtv project, and are rough-cut `Guerilla Journalism` projects available for free on the CFZtv website, together with some songs from his albums.

Famous quotes containing the words film and/or maker:
“The woman’s world ... is shown as a series of limited spaces, with the woman struggling to get free of them. The struggle is what the film is about; what is struggled against is the limited space itself. Consequently, to make its point, the film has to deny itself and suggest it was the struggle that was wrong, not the space.”
—Jeanine Basinger (b. 1936)
“Give up the belief that mind is, even temporarily, compressed within the skull, and you will quickly become more manly or womanly. You will understand yourself and your Maker better than before.”
—Mary Baker Eddy (1821–1910)
