Yes, celluloid may be gone, though prints on celluloid still exist. I have seen "physical film," which is perhaps better, though it's not clear how many people would know what it means. Same could be said of "celluloid."

Hi Fred,
I would agree with you, but wasn’t celluloid phased out in favor of acetate and 
polyester material?
“Film” is just the simplest correct term, though I have also heard used “real 
film” and “film film”.

My solution is to write "celluloid." One might write, "films printed on celluoloid," or, 
to be more restrictive, "films shot and printed on celluloid." It would be interesting to know if 
the festival will accept works shot on video but printed on celluloid, and designed that way, for the look 
of, for example, Pixelvision on celluloid. Such things exist.
