There are a variety of UV light based disinfection systems.
In our buidling we used to use germicidal lamps to keep "culture" rooms
sterile - but we don't any longer. Keeping entire rooms sterile is very
impracatical and Too many health risks and long-term damage to equipment
due to constant exposure to UV.
These prevent fungi from becoming established but usually won't kill an
established fungal growth
Some UV based disinfecting systems here:

But I don't think any of these would prevent growth of fungus on film -
only if the film was stored under UV light, this would eventually destroy
the film.
