You've got some unfortunately bad answers here. But your question itself is
very confusing, so it's not surprising.
You *don't have a dictionary here*. It's not clear why you think you do.
You have a queryset, consisting of one or more model instances.
However, I *think* you are trying to ask why you have a queryset in the
first place. And the answer is that that's what `filter` always gives you,
no matter how many items it matches. But in your case you're querying by
unique ID anyway, so you should only get one item. So, in a case like this,
you should use `get`:
unique_key_object = simpleformmodel.objects.get(id=unique_key)
and now in the template {{ unique_key_object.filename }} will work
correctly.
