Director Andrei Tarkovsky spent about a year shooting all of the exterior scenes with cinematographer Georgi Rerberg using Kodak 5247 film. This film stock was newer to Soviet laboratories of the time, and some of the original negatives were destroyed by a processing error at the laboratory. Part of the film had to be shot again with a new cinematographer, Aleksandr Knyazhinskiy. This contributed to the film's two-part narrative structure. Allegedly, the newly shot footage strayed farther away from the source novel Roadside Picnic, and had a different look. Asked about this, director Tarkovsky said "no mother gives birth to the same child twice".
