Have you tried the template tag truncatechars?

{{ value|truncatechars:[number to truncate chars after] }}

Make sure 15 (this is arbitrary) is greater than the number you’re slicing by:

{% if value|length > 15 %}
    {{ value|slice:"-6" }}<a href="#">(more)</a>
{% else %}
    {{ value }}
{% endif %}
