Active between 1972 and 1974, Pemini produced one mid-length film, \u003cem\u003eHunted\u003c\/em\u003e, a high-suspense thriller starring Edward Woodward and June Ritchie, and two feature films: \u003cem\u003eAssassin\u003c\/em\u003e, a grimly realistic spy film starring Ian Hendry, Edward Judd, Frank Windsor, Ray Brooks and Mike Pratt; and \u003cem\u003eMoments\u003c\/em\u003e, an enigmatic romantic mystery starring Keith Michell and Angharad Rees. When Pemini disbanded, the films disappeared into the ether...\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNow, these three lost works, made by one of the most vibrant independent production companies of the era, have been rescued from the archives to be given their first ever home entertainment release in this deluxe, individually numbered Limited Edition Blu-ray set, accompanied by a wealth of newly produced
