Techno Viking 2000

Basically, the Techno Viking is a creation of the Internet (which later turned into a meme) that was initiated during the 2000 F*ckparade in Berlin, Germany.

Matthias Fritsch, a German filmmaker, came up with a documentary that focused on the video he recorded.

The video featured a shirtless man who was dancing in public. Soon the video went viral, where it was viewed by millions of people on YouTube in 2006.

This internet sensation was turned into a documentary which was filmed and directed by Matthias Fritsch in 2006!

The entire documentary focuses on the filmmaker’s battles to maintain his right to use the video he made back in 2000.

The documentary gained immense popularity and became a meme sensation as time passed by. The filmmaker successfully raised nearly €6,000 through a crowdfunding website called Indiegogo.
