Slugify within a static tag in django templates

Question

In one of my templates I use

{% for key, value in dict.items %}
    ...
    <img src="{% static 'img/{{ key|slugify }}.jpg' %}"/>
    ...
{% endfor %}

but the output is not the one expected so I guess that one cannot use template filters within a static tag.

Any suggestions on how to achieve this then?

Edit: the keys of the dict above are strings that corresponds to the filenames of the jpg images.

what is the error you're experiencing? why not storing the images as objects with a `slug` field? — Samuele Mattiuzzo, Jun 25 '13 at 09:06
The error was a sort of "urlencoded" string instead of the filename (even though there were no special or nonlatin characters in the key). As far as the image as objects question, I don't want the extra queries to the db for the specific images. — alekosot, Jun 25 '13 at 13:22

{% load static %}
{% for key, value in dict.items %}
    ...
    <img src="{% get_static_prefix %}img/{{ key|slugify }}.jpg"/>
    ...
{% endfor %}
