How long will 35mm film last if it's kept in the refrigerator?

Question

I bought some 1000 speed film a year ago and have kept it in the refrigerator. I'm thinking about using it for when I go to a concert next month and was wondering if it would still be good?

Answer 1

I recently used a roll of ISO 200 color film with an expiration date of 12-06. Its been refrigerated since I bought it. It was perfect.

Answer 2

Yes it will be fine.  Take it out of the frig the day before but don't open it until you need it.

Answer 3

If you kept it refrigerated since you purchased it, it will be fine. You might experience a slight color shift, but under concert lighting, I doubt you will even notice it.

Answer 4

You guys are such amateurs!!

I had kept used Kodak film in a refrigerator for up to ten years, and it came out extremely well.

I wouldn't worry about it one bit.  Even if it is outdated a bit, it won't hurt it at all.

The only thing you want to be careful of is using it immediately out of the refrigerator.  Take it out of refrig, let it sit a couple hours before you use it to get it used to normal air temp.   Your film should be fine.
