how to store old film?

[meandihagee]

I got a vintage film from the '20s or something I want to use, but not right now...

How should I store it? I kept in the freezer for 2-3 months, but then it hit me that I should but it in some sort of air tight zip-lock to keep the humidity out...

any suggestion for a vacuumable zip-lock? or am I to paranoid?

I have tried with zip-lock bags but my experience is that after some time they get some air inside. I use a plastic tupperware box and I put some rice grains inside too to keep the moisture low (rice absorbs it).
I hope it helps.

Do you know if it in fact from the 1920's?
If so, it's is probably shrunken and more then likely it is also Nitrate base.
