Gold film with holes lasered into it should last indefinitely. Probably the longevity of the reel, container and building are more of a problem.

Github's backup on Svalbard also uses some kind of film, and it's supposed to last 500 to 1000 years: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arctic_World_Archive
