NuwandaIn the future, retro-looking videos will have compression artifacts instead of film grain.
Compression artifacts will exist as long as we use lossy video compression. You can however eliminate visible to the eye artifacts with high enough bitrate, but that has always been the case.
Considering the ungodly size of raw video or even video with lossless compression, we will need lossy compression for the next century.
It will only change if the bandwidth and storage become practically free, which would require some unforseen breakthrough in technology.

The technology for film photography (which was later used for video) existed for a century before digital was popular ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
