The colder the temperature the longer the film will keep fresh.
Kodak/Fuji have film technical publications that indicate the recommend short and long term storing temperatures of each specific film. Checkout their web sites.
I freeze film that I’m not going to use within 6 months and film that will be used in the short term I store in the fridge. When my fridge film runs out I move some from the freezer down to the fridge.
Example Kodak recommends their b&w film is stored at temperatures below:
Storage up to 2 months @ 24C/75F
Storage up to 6 months @ 16C/60F
Storage up to 12 months @ 10C/50F
Motion picture films at 13C/55F for up to 3 months, longer storage at -18 to -23C (0 to -10F)
