Shouldn't you just have an entry like this in your urls.py:
(r'^events/(?P<event_slug>[^/]+)', 'project.application.views.view')
And in your view collect the slug and look it up:
def view(request, slug):
s = get_object_or_404(Event, slug__exact=slug)
I don't understand why you are talking about forms here :)
