According to Kodak they now expect propely stored BW film to last 500 years and Colour film up to 200 years based on ageing characteristics up to now.
If I´m not wrong, Kodak will change the acetate base of all their film stock in the next years. I think that the new film base will be polyester, like Fuji Stock. (Correct me If I´m wrong).

Just imagine that your films can be projected on, worst case, an ultra simple hand cranked home made projector.
Even with sound that might be.
Also there are excellent mechanical wind up cameras around and they may last just as long properly managed.
Back to the future?
The way film was shot and projected a 100 years ago may be valid for the next several hundreds of years.
This shows you that we´re in a very critical technological era . The digital systems could be cheap, flexible, but all these advantages go against the Image quality. I hate from the deep of myself all these Hyper-compressed video images. Sometimes I wish to return to the U-Matic era, or better, 16 mm Auricon camera´s era.
Digital technology for audio recording was a great advance, but a greater resolution in bits and higher sample fequency must to be necessary to be next to the analogical audio quality. (Of course, It´s very easy to deceive the ear instead the eye.) :?
